More photos of the burgeoning belly

These were taken this past Sunday (26 weeks, 3 days -- of course I'm still counting!), during a brief excursion into the mountains. Matt and I made a very easy climb onto some boulders and soaked up some sun for a spell -- great day for it, too.

Anyway, onto the images (I hope that the sight of bare pregnant-lady belly doesn't offend anyone)!





After a little while, I decided to kick back, hike up the ol' belly band and let Sy-guy catch some rays for a few. Matt likes this photo, but I think I look like a giant albino pumpkin ripening on a vine, har!



Then, because I didn't want to be too much of a camera hog, I told Matt to model his own "sympathy belly" for the world. I think everyone will agree that while beautiful in its own way, it can hardly hold a candle to my own midsection!

The latest ultrasound image

This was taken last Wednesday, at 25 weeks. I've added a few labels, as this one didn't come out as clear as some others in the past (and I only got one image to take home with me this time -- I guess they must be getting sick of me at the perinatologist's office, har). They estimated a fetal weight of 1lb 10oz, which (according to a chart I looked up online) is slightly ahead of the curve for Sy's current gestation. So long as he's healthy, I'm A-OK with it!

Such sublime absurdity must be shared!
